Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation Grants

The Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF) seeks to advance the status of women practitioners in the architecture professions. At present, BWAF focuses on expanding the knowledge about and recognition of women's contributions to architecture in the United States during the period 1950-1980. By revisiting this era, BWAF seeks to reevaluate the contributions of women within a culture of equality.
